Learned that I actually enjoy learning and speaking new languages. I have become more aware and accepting of cultural differences, from visiting diffierent countries and seeing so many tourists in Paris. I learned how to travel by myself and navigate a new city, and learn to explore the city I am living in. Pretty much learned... A student View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself. I learned how to manage my money with my parents. I learned to navigate a city easily. I learned depend on myself in a new environment. I definitely plan to return to France and learn more about the culture and myself in the future. Alexandra S - Spelman College View Entire Review
Before going abroad I had no interest in the news or what was really going on in the rest of the world - I fell into the typical American trap of self-absorbency. Travelling and learning about these countries from a European perspective. Since then I have read the news everyday! Kathleen C - Villanova University View Entire Review
It was incredibly worthwhile. I had never been overseas and realized that people in Europe have such a different way of living than we do in the west. I would love to go back and pursue my masters there or possibly look for work. It truly is a life changing experience! Mariela H - Trinity University View Entire Review
This trip has been an incredible addition to my life, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Even almost four months after the end of my program, I am planning a return trip and aspire to teach English abroad. Jennifer W - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Yes! It greatly improved my confidence in my French abilities and was a great cultural experience. Katie M - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
The things that you learn about life, the world and yourself are inexplicable, and different for every person in every location. Do it for yourself, and you won't regret i. Emily W - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

Worthwile is a huge understatement. I can not wait to return to France. Brianna L - Claremont McKenna College View Entire Review

The language part was challenging. It's a wonderful program for the students with a strong French background. Classes are all in French, so I struggled a little but I really improved a lot. Heyue D - Trinity University View Entire Review
My personal goal was to be more familiar with the french culture and spending time in france allowed me to do just that. I met many great people (unfortunately not French people in the mots part). Philippe L - Trinity University View Entire Review
Yes it completely was. I can now say I lived in Paris. I experience some awesome things and made some awesome friendships. I really had a great time! Lauren P - Trinity University View Entire Review
I improved my french, a lot. I thought that the administration was merh - could have been better. But I met a lot of really cool people, most of them from my own college that I didn't know went here, and it was life changing. Virginia B - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Yes, but only because out of class I made it so Karlem S - Ithaca College View Entire Review
All my French friends said I know more about Paris than they do. I was able to visit old monuments and countless museums. I leanred why the French are so prideful (because of their rich cultural background). I fell in love with the people and the city and am moving back there to teach English. Elizabeth C - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
Definitely. Savannah P - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I think that studying abroad made me think about the world in a different way. I really enjoyed seeing how the French live their lives. They take the time to appreciate art and culture more than we do in America. Obviously not everyone, but I definitely felt different in Paris and would love to live there one day. I have the sam... Kathryn B - Fordham University View Entire Review
I learned a lot, mostly about myself. I would love to go back to Paris for an extended time but have found this to be very difficult. Alexandra K - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I have decided against teaching foreign language, due to my internship experience, and now am more focused on my goal of working with an NGO. I am grateful for this because I can now narrow my options and will not be committed to a year or more of a job that does not suit me. Katie H - Austin College View Entire Review
The worst thing about the study abroad experience was the PEOPLE in the program. We just didn't click.. people coming to study in Paris are just not people I would hang out with at home. It was an absolutely amazing experience being here and doing the program, I just would suggest looking up the people you'll be studying with be... Rachel C - Providence College View Entire Review
